Interesting read!
We invented our humanity. We invented cooking, we invented human language, we invented our sense of fairness, duty, and responsibility.
Invention suggests some kind of intentional and deliberate process. I prefer to think that language, cooperation, etc emerged from evolutionary pressure.
Fairness, reciprocity,... seems to exist in many other beings too. Of course, depends on where you put us humans versus primates, but it seems like chimpanzees and "less evolved" beings also have rudimentary concepts of fairness, etc.
So, I kinda agree with the general gist, but could be a bit more nuanced. At the same time, it's probably not meant to be super-hedged as would be the case for a peer-reviewed article~~
